Blair's Britain is all about handing out A-levels to anyone who wants them, so I can hardly summon the slightest bit of surprise when such an obvious idiot as Prince Harry, turns out not to have earned his.
Does it matter - in Harry's case, it probably doesn't. The fact that he's been caught does show that the Royal Family no longer have the power to keep these things under wraps. The willingness on the part of the so-called academics to allow him to cheat is typical of crap Humanities courses. Most of the lecturers are drunks, whose only concern is to keep on boozing. In most Universities, they were always too pissed, or too cosy to notice that they received the same plagiarised essay over and over again, before giving it a mark worth a 2.2, without even reading it. Now you can download stuff from the internet, so it's arguably even easier to cheat. I'm not so sure, since you could have handed in any paper-based object to some of these charlatans and still got a degree. They're still not going to read them, internet or not.
As for Harry, well Sandhurst is just the place for a young man with a bit of a reputation for rowdiness. If this doesn't suit him down to the ground, I don't know what will. He'll be able to carouse with like-mindless, chinless tossers, in endless drinking games and homo-erotic tomfoolery. A natural progression from his dorm at Eton. If he's not up to the job, no doubt the officers in charge will show the same dilligence as his school tutors and just award him a pass anyway, so as to keep themselves in a cosy job.
